- plows, the nature of which will be fully explained by reference to theaccompanying drawing, in which Figures 1 and Zrepresent opposite sideviews of parts of a plow constructed according to my invention. Figs. 3and 4 show similar views to Figs. 1 and 2, with parts removed. Fig. 5shows a'detached view of the neck and standard; and Figs. 6 to 11 show(letail views of parts separately.

In each of the views similar letters of reference are employed toindicate corresponding parts wherever they occur.

A represents the standard, to which the beam is attached by means of thesocket a, and a bolt passed through the socket-hole a as will be readilyunderstood.

The standard A is attached to the moldboard B by means of acoupling-plate, A

which, on its front edge, is provided with a vertical bearing-surface, aand an inclined bearing-surface, a. It is also provided with a rearextension, a and a front lip or extension, 0,", which fit snugly on theupper edge of the mold-board, and give a firm support to the standardand a smooth continuous surface to mold-board.

The coupling-plate A is held between projecting ribs b, formed on oralfixed to the mold-board B, and it is secured thereto by bolts a I Thestandard A is connected to the plate A by means of a neck, A, which isso formed that its front face shall form a continuous sharp surface,extending from and forming a continuation of the upper surface B of themold-board B, while it is formed of such a contour sidcwise that itsface a shall gradually recede' with a curve somewhat similar to that. ofa mold-board, gradually increasing in area from front to rear, theobject of this construction being that little or no resistance may bepresented by the standard A and neck A and choking of the plow isthereby prevented.

The mold-board B, on its upper front face, is formed with anenlargement, B the front edge of which is sharp, while its face Bextends laterally at an angle, so as to form a guard to the ribs 1) band bolts a", by which the'plate A is connected thereto.

The mold-board B, on its lower front face, is formed with a curvedrecess, b and on its under side with an angular recess, b and on itsforward inner surface is formed or attached an angular brace, G, for thepurpose of the attachment of the point D and land-side E, the surface 0of which forms an inner land-side.

The point D, at d al is formed so as to fit into the recesses 12 b ofthe mold-board B, and at 01 is provided with an inclined lateralprojection leaving a V-shaped recess, (1 for the purpose of receivingand holding the front end of the land-side E, and it is held to themold-board B by means of a projection, 01, which passes into acorrespondingly-formed recess, h in the rear of the under side of themold-board, and also by a single countersunk bolt, (1 which passesthrough a hole, 0, in the angular brace O, the part 0 of which forms aninner land-side.

The land-side E, at e, is recessed, so as to receive a face-plate, E tothe under surface of which is applied a sole-plate, E the object of theface and sole plate E E being to prevent wear of the land-side E.

The plate E is attached to the land-side E by means of loops or eyes, f,passing through suitable holes in the land-side E, and secured, bypreference, by means of wooden pegs f, passed through the loops or eyesf on the rear of the land-side E.

The plates E E are secured to the angular brace O by means ofcountersunk bolts g g, which pass through the plate E only the bolt 9being applied beneath the plate E in order that the plate E may presenta perfectly smooth outer surface.

The plate E, it will thus be seen, is capable of removal at any time,without disturbing the other parts of the plow, and can readily bereplaced, or a new one applied at any time.

By forming the plates E E at 0 so as to lock into the V-shaped recess 01of the point D the parts afi'ord mutual support, while a continuoussurface is provided, and friction and consequent wear avoided.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, 18-- 1. A standard, A, formed with a neck, A,constructed with a front face, a, having a sharp curved surface andcurved side face, a gradually increasing in area, and extensions a a andcoupling-plate A substantially as and for the purposes shown anddescribed.

2. The combination, with a mold-board, B,

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I aflix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.
